I just wanted to chime in on this discussion regarding discounts for the Government Employee Purchase Program (EPP) both online and at retail stores.
The same discounts are available both online and at retail stores.
Eligibility: All US Government (Federal, State and Local) employees and contractors, Department of Defense civilian employees, all current and former military members (including Guard and Reserves), Government and Military contractors
If an Apple retail store declines to offer special pricing on certain products, please feel free to pass on the information. I will do my best to update any stores with the appropriate information. Please keep in mind that we often have special promotions available online only. However, for the most part, the discounts are as listed below...
Discounts (online / retail store) are as follows --
8% off Pro products (Power Mac, Powerbook, Cinema Displays)
6% off Consumer products (iMac, iBook, iPod)
8% off Apple Accessories (armbands, nano tubes, etc.)
17% off Apple OS and Software
12% off AppleCare Protection Plan
4% off 3rd Party Products (including software)
-- If shopping online, please choose your Government EPP store listed below (same discounts at all stores):
** Please remember these stores are for personal purchases only -- if making a purchase for an agency, please visit this site: http://www.apple.com/r/store/government and choose the appropriate link to the left.
As always, feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, suggestions, etc. Any feedback is appreciated and welcome.
Thanks and Happy Holidays!
